Removing MT-07 Front Sprocket Cover after 5 Years...

It has bothered me that it's taken this long to get around to having a peek behind the sprocket cover. I knew it was going to be caked in years of built up chain lube...I'm definitely going to be cleaning this more regularly! There is a lot of grime still kicking around in there, but it is a bit better. Thank the great spaghetti monster in the sky for Swarfega Jizer!

Thank you very much! I'm going to do it for the first time, after my first season of motoriding, your video is very helpful. 👏

Lol awesome. 5 years on stock chain too? Love the silly horror vibes😂

thanks lol - I know right! The chain did last ages, but I do ride like an old man, which probably helps 🤓

I'd imagine a lot of people don't! Hope yours isn't so caked!

Holy moly what a mess, gotta do that right away on mine. Btw, can U please tell me what are those tires you have?

Hi Tomáš - yeah it was a state, ha! The tyres are Dunlop Mutants, I'd definitely recommend them! - www.dunlop.eu/en_gb/motorcycle/tires/mutant--mutant.html

Mine was a lot worse than that. I also noticed my seal guard was very worn and I had to replace that. Make sure you check that as well.

@@thebikenoob I just bought my bike and after a week or so I noticed the chain wasn't running smooth. So I removed that front sprocket and it was PACKED with rocks, dirt and grease... It was difficult to remove the sprocket because of how full it was 😂 I don't think the previous owner ever cleaned it...

Sounds about right! Any more used bikes I buy in future, this is number one on the things to check!

How did you remeber the angle tu put back shifter after?

@thebikenoob Жыл бұрын

I just eyeballed it - you can always mark it with a thin white pen to make sure you get it on the same spline when you put it back on. Felt right when I was riding, so all good. You can always adjust it depending on where you prefer your gear pedal to sit, either higher or lower. Perhaps I'll make a video on adjusting controls at some point...

Hi! I can't find the size of those cover bolts anywhere, could you tell me or either guide me to a place where all the bolt sizes are mentioned 😅 Thanks!

Hey - sorry I've only just clocked your message! The OEM part number is 90110-06395, hopefully that helps! If I get a chance to measure them I'll bung you the info

What did you use to clean it? Some kind of degreaser?

Weren't you supposed to locktite those bolts?

@thebikenoob Жыл бұрын

The manual doesn't mention it, and there didn't seem to be any factory loctite so I didn't apply any. Probably not a bad idea!

Use gear oil 90 and that doesn’t happen.

You've never changed your chain and sprocket in 5 years?

@thebikenoob Жыл бұрын

no! I don't ride particularly hard, adjusted the chain when needed and the teeth aren't hooked or damaged. Just changed the chain the other day, sprockets still look fine, ha

Mine, which is now my wife's, has done 18000 miles on chain & sprockets. I need to do this job now.
